pari-2.5.5(STABLE) released

Dear PARI lovers,

I would like to announce the release of pari-2.5.5 (STABLE). The sources
and a basic Windows binary are available from

  http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/download.html

This is a BUGFIX release for the stable branch. If fixes problems found w=
hen
compile with gcc 4.8, a serious issue where local(var) could corrupt a
polynomial variable of the same name, and all significant problems that c=
ould
be fixed in a simple, harmless way. However we strongly encourage you to
upgrade since it fixes a number of cases where PARI was returning an inco=
rrect
result.=20

Please note that this could be the last 2.5.x release, so we encourage us=
ers
to try PARI 2.6.1 and report any regression found, so they get fixed for
the next stale release 2.7.0.

  --- For Windows users: ---
Two basic Windows binaries are provided, depending of your system:

For XP, Vista: gp-2-5-5.exe=20
<http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/pub/pari/windows/gp-2-5-5.exe>

for Windows 7, 8: gp-readline-2-5-5.exe
<http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/pub/pari/windows/gp-readline-2-5-5.exe>

However, we invite you to download both binaries and use the one that
work better on your system.
  ---------------------------

Thanks to all those who reported problems, on the mailing lists or throug=
h
our Bug Tracking System. ( See http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/Bugs/ ), or
who tested the prelease.

And do not forget the Ateliers PARI/GP 2014 will be held in Besan=E7on in=
 January
this year.

Have fun,

  Bill and Karim
